title: do you think you can hang?song: bad girls, m.i.a.fandom, subject: lost girl, tamsinnotes: a song clip exchange with gigglemonster, a tribute to tamsin, my second favorite lost girl character (first is the kenz)

So gigglemonster and I decided to do another song exchange today. My idea, since I had a snow day and just about everything I was going to do today was canceled. The drill is, we each pick and cut various music for each other into ~30-45 second song clips, and then we each make a vid of our choosing with one of the other's song choices. We do it to experiment and get creative (and to challenge ourselves to see if we can vid songs we didn't pick!) Here are my results:

Title: How I Show My LoveSource: True Romance (1993)Music: Sail, AWOLNATIONLength: An embarrassing 37 seconds.Anything Else: Little known fact - I loved this movie back when I was way too young to even watch this movie, which probably explains quite a few things about me. It's pretty much a Clarence/Alabama-centric vidlet. At first I was going to incorporate a lot of the action but then I realized the horror of trying to make indoor, poorly lit, 90s action sequences look good. Yeah, not exactly easy. So I went with what worked. This is it. Also, a bit NSFW.

title: the gardenfandom: the vampire diariesartist, song; mirah, the gardenlength: 44 secondsdownload: 15.6MBsnotes: Another challenge from gigglemonster. She picks the songs, I make a minivid. It's how we do. Also, these two are perfection and very much in love. (Maybe?)

title: Mourning Comesfandom: Take This Waltz (2012)song, artist: For The Widows In Paradise; For The Fatherless In Ypsilanti, Sufjan Stevensdownload: why would you want to download this?Notes: Posted this on tumblr last night, just didn't get a chance to post here. This is another of mine and gigglemonster's ~30-second-song-exchange challenges and not a serious vid. We do these from time to time. To be honest, half the fun of these is the suspense of wondering what song clip I sent her she's gonna use and what fandom she'll use it with. Full disclosure: I have never guessed. Oh, also, if you don't know, the movie is Take This Waltz directed by Sarah Polley and I highly highly recommend it.

Did a vidlet challenge with gigglemonster tonight. Made two "companion" vidlets for the movie Uncertainty. I've actually always wanted to vid this movie and I still might make a full length vid for it one day, but for now this was fun!

Title: Eat My DumplingSource: Kung Fu PandaMusic: Fanfare by Black ViolinNotes: mistojen and I, after commiserating over our long, long, vidding dry spells over at sisabet's Vidder Poor Me Meme, decided to challenge each other with short clips of songs to see if we could actually vid again. We both decided to pick source footage that we had little to no "emotional attachment" to, in order to make the process as painless as possible.
